Hello iRobbani, well, just so I understand what you mean about your voice being thin, what Hz is your voice currently? Initially, I just lay on the floor of my dorm and did them there. You could also just lie on a bed instead. Thank you for the app. Yeah, I mean sometimes is like 86 hz average but most of the time is 90 hz average and 80 hz of depth, the app says that is similar to Jon Hamm.

Thank you for answering man. Really thankful for your fast reply, but do you think it will deepen with time or it will stay just as it is? Hi bro, does my head need to be hanging off the edge of the bed or can I do the exercise by just lying on the bed or the floor? Hey, you can do either. Hi bro, does my head need to be hanging off to do the exercises or i just lie down on the bed and do it like that? I will keep doing the exercises and report the results in a month. Also what can I use to put weight on my forehead?

Yep, I keep a chart, I see a little fluctuation, I was just worried about doing the exercises wrong. I will start doing the exercises with weight now, I will report the results in a couple of weeks. Is there any chance your neck was quite well-built already? Be careful not to overdo it though. Your head likely weighs between 5kg and 6kg, so an increase of 1kg is actually pretty big. I largely blamed choir for this, as I was active in that during my early years. I ended up buying Vocular off of Google Play.

Reliability is Excellent at and my variance is I really need to work on lowering my voice, and plan to employ some of the suggestions here, because yeah, being mistaken for a woman every time I answer the phone, or play a game with new friends online…it gets so old.

Hi Scott, sorry for the late reply here. Good to hear from you too! Feel free to email me too, if you want to know more about any of this. We may be adding some of these measurements to a new version of the app soon. You could use the app to check your voice though and log its changes. Hi James. I did the exercises with and without weight and I never trained my neck before. I will keep doing the exercises to see if i find any progress. Hi Alex, thanks for reporting this.

Any idea why this might be? Did you measure your voice shortly after doing the exercises? Did you take recordings at the same time each day too? Did you notice any change in your SCM muscles too? Sorry if these are obvious questions. I measure my voice before doing the exercises and at 5 pm. I do the exercises every day though.

I will keep doing the exercises though to see if i have results later. I do the exercises similar to this video but without that weight. Do you experience upper body tension at all? I have that problem some days and I think it affects my voice, makes it sound reedy and strained.

I will try to do the exercises every other day and do them some more weeks to see If i have results. I will report it if that happens. Okay, maybe that explains it then. Might be worth trying exercises with a neck harness, starting with a light weight 2.

My voice was deepest when I was doing both the SCM exercises and using the harness. The graph shows 3 months of change, but my voice started getting deeper after 2 weeks. It was higher for the first week though. My voice is around average. I am a male and have nasal voice. Can I make it any better with neck and breathing exercises?

Hi Jason, how old are you? You should be able to practise speaking with your fingers on your nose and train your vocal energy lower, so it sounds less distorted by the blocked nasal cavity. I always had a problem with allergies, flu and blocked nose when I was little. These problems have improved since the last few years.

I also have bad posture rounded shoulders and forward head … I have doing these exercises for neck and some exercises for shoulders for a week now.

My posture have become a lot better. So I suppose this will help me too. My voice can already go down to about 62 hz without straining too much. Will this work to go even lower? Hey bro could you upload a video doing the exercises? Hi Matt, yeah, this video shows how I do them actually. Can you not just speak in a slightly higher voice? I can use the pitch tracker on the app and speak with a voice Hz higher at will.

Initially Hz, although I was already breathing diaphragmatically by then. Hey Miles, I think that broadly comes down to the size of their vocal cords. Some men just have just have shorter or thinner vocal cords, which is why I tend to talk about getting a deeper voice, rather than a deep one.

There are psychological factors too — some guys talk with a higher voice just out of habit or adopt bad posture which puts a strain on their voice.

Also, a lot of nasal voices are low-pitched but people perceive them as being high-pitched e. Richard Ayoade. Thank you for your response. Just another question, how much time were you doing the exercises and noticed that your neck was bigger? Good question. The only thing I can say is that I had a tuxedo shirt which ended up so tight I would leave the top button undone until the last minute because it felt like it was stopping the blood from getting to my brain.

That used to fit comfortably too. Best way to relax your SCMs is to strengthen your neck and relieve upper body tension, which can be caused by bad posture, a bad exercise routine, stress, etc. You should notice after a hot bath, your voice gets deeper. Would the exercises and hydration make a significant difference in my case? I might give it a shot though and see if I can get down to 50Hz. I also have a solid monotone with minimal vocal fry.

And I got a hz of It can get very annoying so I have to basically yell all the time. Hey man, yes I know this really well, I have totally same problem.

My voice is hz. Iam unable to talk loud, my loudest yell is about 50 db. It took me some time to get used to it, but now, I dont see it as problem. About month ago, I got hurt. I was not able to speak, my larynx was blocked with some shit. Not a nice story. It took me 2 weeks to get from it. I must say, Iam happy that I can even speak :D. Also, corpse has channel on youtube, a lot of people talk about his voice nowadays. Would it suffice to only do neck crunches, or should I be doing a variety of exercises to strengthen different neck muscles I assume crunches primarily work on the SCMs?

Is the deeper voice that results from these exercises permanent or does it need to be constantly maintained with continued neck exercises? If I really concentrate of taking a deep breath and speaking from my belly, so to speak, I can produce a nice, rich, lower tone….

Can you relate to this at all? Hi Mike, sorry for the late reply here. Oh yeah, I can definitely relate. I think upper body tension has something to do with it. Thanks for your reply. This is truly astonishing! Good job! It makes me wonder if most females have the physique and ability to habitually speak in average male register. I mean men speak at the bottom of their register and women in the middle. Is it just habit?

I suspect it has to do with the fact that we have been handling plastics, eating birthcontrol pills and other drugs and medicine, eating processed food with unnatural additives, breathing exhaust fumes and drinking water with heavy metals in it for the last 70 or so years.

The lines between genders are dissapearing more and more. Another little detail i have noticed, is that in old photographs and movies you never ever see a woman with a prominent adams apple. This has definetly changed over the last 40 years or so. Nowadays its pretty common to see women with this attribute. This would correlate with the drop in voice depth probably. This is also why the male voice drops so suddenly during puberty — testosterone lengthens and thickens the vocal cords, so the frequency falls from the s to the s.

I believe testosterone is also lower in men with higher life satisfaction although men get a boost in T when they win a contest. Testosterone is actually lower is pre-industrial societies too. Do you mind if I ask how you did it? Clears up everything. Hello, ideally, I do them once every two days and I do 3 sets of 20 reps, so 60 head lifts in total. I tend to do them at night too because they can make your neck feel uncomfortable if you do them early on and then have to work at a desk or something like that.

Hi Steve, I noticed a change straightaway — my voice was higher for about a week. My neck felt different after a couple of days too.

Good article! How about an unethical and unhealthy tip? Cigarette smoking, I believe this works by causing edema in the vocal cords. Do you have any studies on this? I was young n had a wonderful angelic voice. When puberty stroke me it bcam raspy and everyone pointed it out. I then had to squeeze and tighten my vocal cords unknowingly.

I tried the neck exercise and i noticed sum subtle changes. I mostly immitate deep voices and it really amaze me but it strains me more. How would you help me speak with a constant deep voice at least the one I obtained as i continue with the exercise. Do you have any say on this as a vocular? Hey man. I am 14, almost fifteen. I have a normal voice, average in my school, however I want a deep one. Chances are, you know about Corpse. If not, look him up on YouTube. I love his voice.

I really want a deep voice like his. Do you think I can do it or wait till 20 or something? Corpse is 23 and has gerd a medical condition that damages his vocal chords , he also is forced to speak fairly quietly listen to how close he is to his mic , and has a HUGE amount of vocal fry that also affects to depth of his voice.

Feel free to do the exercises and try to add some depth to your voice. In terms of deepening your voice, how deep is it now? But also, during puberty, your voice falls from Hz to somewhere around Hz on average. So it might just be worthwhile waiting, maybe tracking your voice once a month. If i was to do 6 sets of the neck rep thing would it make the process quicker or make my voice deeper and would it be bad for my health?

Never tried 6 sets, but generally with lifting weights I stick to 3, so I did the same thing here. I only really look at the numbers. In terms of vocal fry, a certain amount of it is unavoidable.

Median also determines how low you can get with the musical pitch I believe. Greatest basses usually have less than 60med or so. How is your progress going by the way? Progress with the app is going pretty well. How long will it take to get a deep voice?

I am And if I follow these steps, will I get a fry range voice? What that did for me is make them get used to vibrating every day and for long periods of time which by default made them thicker and more resistant. However, note that my voice was in the countertenor range before 12, then it lowered to somewhere to the normal vocal range of a teenager with cracks and all that, but as I said I did hurt my voice for quite a bit before I realized what was happening, which by default lowered it to about 90 hz and weakened it, and it took some time to repair it.

Once you got them down you can focus on maintaining it and going lower slowly. What exercises are you referring to in your 4th paragraph? The ones that you say got your voice down to F1?

Hi there! Hi Kai, sorry for the late reply. You caught quite late over here in the UK. Is there an example of a voice which would be ideal for you? No worries! Generally more on the masculine side, but not incredibly deep sounding.

I plan on asking my doctor about possible ways I could safely lower my voice and whether these exercises could work or not, but I did want to get your opinion first, since you did write the post.

Thanks for replying anyways though! Did your morning voice also become deeper, or was it like the difference between your morning and day voice which became smaller? What if my voice depth is about 59 Hz while the highest one is 77Hz is that considered as deep voice or its just my coincidence to think that it is? My voice depth is htz and I am 24 years old.

Do you have any recommendations to make it deeper. Wow, from to Do you recommend a neck harness over the regular neck crunches by the way? I recommend both. Other people have had better results than me too. For the SCM neck exercises, I used to do them with a folder rested on my forehead that weighed 0. Many people have said so. During puberty I tried making it deeper and that just worsened it, as just speaking normally my voice is never the same tone.

Do these exercises help a woman too? Are you a woman? This has to be the best advice I have ever read or watched on the subject. I feel I can take a realistic approach and achieve results thanks to your willingness to go all in. Thank you man. Hey MD, thank you very much. Thanks for the recommendation too. I just wish to find out whether if you stop doing the exercises your voice becomes as high as it originally was, or you have to keep doing them forever if you want your voice to remain very deep forever.

In terms of voice deepening, I seem to remember that it levels off in your late teens, then very slowly deepens over time, but not by much maybe 10 Hz or so. I also saw a few people saying something about losing their morning voice….. Do you lose your morning voice after doing the exercises for some time? So Im 17 and my avg frequency is about hertz, Is that considered avg? I think the app is decent and I like it. I did the neck exercises for a few months and it worked.

My voice went from 94 hz to 76 hz. But unfortunatuly, I have been too lazy to do the exercises lately, and I feel like my voice has gone up a bit after not doing them. Do you think my voice will deepen faster than when I started if I start doing them again because of muscle memory? Thanks for writing in. Is there anything else you were doing too? I also did some humming and diaphragmatic breathing exercises but I think the neck exercises were the most effective.

Or is that too deep for deepening? Not really. Hard to explain. It seems more prevalent in music. A lot of baritones sound deeper because they have darker timbres, like Matt Berninger or Josh Turner. Is that helpful? Will the exercises and procedures above work for me at this age?

I hope so. To be honest, I only really recommend people of your age use the app to keep a track of your voice pitch over time. During puberty, the male voice generally drops from about Hz to Hz, which is a pretty huge drop and not the kind of thing you can achieve with these exercises.

Maybe it would help you to know that your voice is still developing though. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

After a lifetime of speaking, the vocal cords and surrounding tissue lose strength and elasticity, and our mucous membranes become thinner and drier. Known medically as presbyphonia , elderly voice change manifests itself through reduced volume and endurance, noticeable shakiness, and difficulty being heard. BY Kevin Kampwirth.

For both men and women, the people who had lowered their pitch ended up with a higher social rank, and were considered to be more dominant in the group, while the people who had raised their pitch were considered to be more submissive and had a lower social rank.

Many animals, such as male frogs, lower their vocal pitch to assert their dominance over others nearby Credit: Getty Images. Whether consciously or unconsciously, women appear to be adapting their vocal profile to suit the opportunities that are available to them today.

Interestingly, the influence of perceived dominance on vocal pitch can also be heard when you compare voices between countries. Women in the Netherlands consistently talk in deeper voices than women in Japan , for instance, and this seems to be linked to the prevailing gender stereotypes — independence versus powerlessness, for instance — in the different cultures an inequality that is also reflected in a much larger gender pay gap in Japan.

And Cheng points out that these changing vocal dynamics may not always be an advantage for women, even in the countries where a deeper speaking voice is now more common. All of these factors cause your voice to get deeper. Think of a guitar. When a thin string is plucked, it vibrates and produces a high-sounding tone.

When a thicker string is plucked, it sounds much deeper when it vibrates. That's kind of what happens to your voice. Before your growth spurt, your larynx is relatively small and your vocal cords are relatively thin. So your voice is high and kid-like. But as bones, cartilage, and vocal cords grow, your voice starts to sound like an adult's. Along with all the other changes in your body, you might notice that your throat area looks a little different. For guys, when the larynx grows bigger, it tilts to a different angle and you can see a bump in the front of the throat called the Adam's apple.

For girls, the larynx also grows bigger but not as much as a guy's. That's why girls don't have Adam's apples.
